The Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI; Malay: Bangunan Sultan Iskandar) is a customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) complex in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Located at the northern d of the Johor–Singapore Causeway, it is one of two land ports of try to Malaysia on the Malaysia–Singapore border.
The building was named after the late Sultan Iskandar of Johor. Built as part of the Southern Integrated Gateway project on the former site of the Lumba Kuda flats, Kampung Bukit Chagar, the building occupies an area of 232, 237 square metres (2, 499, 780 sq ft), making it the largest CIQ complex in Malaysia. The building started operations in 2008, replacing the former Johor Bahru Checkpoint.

From Malaysia, the main expressway leading to the building is the Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway. After border inspection, vehicles (and pedestrians) continue onto the Causeway, evtually reaching the Woodlands Checkpoint in Singapore. Pedestrian access to the building is provided via the Johor Bahru Stral railway station, which is linked to the building by a footbridge.

Originally ev after Johor and Singapore were designated as separate British protectorates, and the Johor–Singapore Causeway was built to accommodate land access betwe both states, no border control was established betwe them. However, checks would be done periodically due to extraordinary circumstances, such as the Malayan Emergcy, but otherwise the citizs of both sides were free to roam betwe the regions without many conditions. This also extded to the point wh Malaya, including Johor, achieved indepdce in 1957 while Singapore was still a Crown Colony, and also wh Singapore and Malaya formed the Federation of Malaysia later on. However the necessities for a proper border control arose wh Singapore separated from Malaysia and became its own sovereign country in 1965.
Wh the border control was first established betwe both Malaysia and Singapore, the only necessary documt was mainly only idtity cards issued by both governmts to pass through and both countries still retained joined visa issuance to visitors. However, as authorities on both sides are still concerned of each other affairs, the join visa was later discontinued, and tighter control was later introduced using either international passport or special limited passport for Johor-Singapore crossing as of 1967. This also triggers the need of establishmt of a proper border checkpoint building on both sides, where Malaysia established their own custom and immigration complex in Johor Bahru for this purpose.
The old Custom, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complex was later established right on the Johor d of the Causeway, just before the Johor Bahru town ctre. Originally it is just a simple two-storey building with lanes for pedestrian, buses, cars and lorries, which were rather limited considering the traffic back th.

In the 1980s, the CIQ was later rebuilt and the lanes were expanded not only to accommodate increasing traffic betwe both sides by introducing more lanes and facilities for motorists and pedestrian, but also to accommodate upgrades of the main route to the Causeway, Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, which later became part of Skudai Highway. While the original plan to make Skudai Highway part of North-South Expressway was scrapped due to Johor Bahru's town developmts restricting the road upgrades, a toll plaza was introduced on the CIQ complex and started charging motorists that passed through the Causeway, in or out.
Improvemts and additions were introduced further as number of crossers grow, however pressing need for a better immigration complex to match with Singapore's Woodlands Checkpoint and checkpoints in Second Link Expressway give birth to a new integrated gateway complex proposal later on.
In 2002, accommodating to growing need for a better, smoother border crossing condition, a plan named Southern Integrated Gateway is proposed to combine new CIQ complex, new bus and train stations as well as new bridge to replace Malaysian side of Causeway, which is deemed irrelevant of its currt state. The plan is to move the CIQ to Bukit Chagar, where later it would be connected to Tanjung Puteri bridge (the new Causeway replacemt bridge) as well as flyovers from a new highway (Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway) and other roads nearby elevated. It also will be connected to a new train station, Johor Bahru Stral station via a footbridge. More clearance lanes are also proposed in this building as well as new and bigger clearance hall for pedestrian and public bus commuters. Both clearance areas are covered.

All plans were later passed by the Federal Governmt of Malaysia, and preliminary work begin in 2003. However, despite some groundwork already ongoing, the Tanjung Puteri bridge plan was cancelled by the federal governmt, now under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as Prime Minister, citing costs and diplomatic issues. However other projects continued as planned with the new CIQ is done and fully operating in December 2008 for all motorists, named Sultan Iskandar CIQ in honour of the Sultan of Johor back th, Sultan Iskandar Al-haj.
However the plan and its later execution was criticized by user especially during the first months, by motorists due to bad try lanes, lack of signs and guide to follow, and also pedestrian due to the location change adding distance to the CIQ and access route layout on the Causeway side is not pedestrian fridly.
The immigration checkpoint has differt checkpoints for bus passgers, bus drivers, lorries, motorcycles and cars. The checkpoint was designed with 38 counters for cars tering Malaysia, and 39 counters for those departing from Malaysia. There are 50 counters in each direction for motorcycles tering and departing Malaysia. The Secured Automated Clearance System for Malaysian Citiz Motorcyclists (M-BIKE) are provided here for all Malaysian citiz motorcyclists only, while foreigners can use Manual Counters for Motorcyclists.

At the customs checkpoint, 36 counters are designated for cars (20 for those arriving in Malaysia and 16 for those leaving the country) and 25 for motorcycles (17 for arrivals and 8 for departures).
All toll transactions at the CIQ complex are conducted electronically with Touch 'n Go. All foreign-registered vehicles embarking from the Singapore Woodlands checkpoint can purchase a TnG card at an old building on the left side of the causeway before approaching Johor.
The move to implemt only electronic toll transactions at the new CIQ complex is part of a governmt strategy to urge the public to migrate to electronic toll transactions, as well as smooth the traffic flow at the CIQ complex.
